According to the Assumption Parish Police Jury website, Texas Brine has reported high levels of Hydrogen Sulfide from their sonic vent well that is drilled into the cap rock at the giant sinkhole near Grand Bayou and Bayou Corne.

Hydrogen Sulfide is a poisonous, flammable gas and has a very bad odor. The smell is described as the smell of rotten eggs. Unlike methane, it is heavier than air and collects at low to the ground levels. No community air monitors have detected Hydrogen Sulfide.

The well was shut down due to these levels. This vent well is the deepest vent well on the property. The Department of Natural Resources’ contractor, The Shaw Group, is currently investigating. Assumption Parish officials are currently waiting on additional details from DNR. […]

And there are some disasters caused by these gases–it can be serious (no kidding):
Poza Rica, Mexico, 1950
The disaster which struck Poza Rica, a town of 15,000 people on the Gulf of Mexico, originated from an accident at one of the local factories which recovers sulfur room natural gas. The release of hydrogen sulfide into the ambient air lasted for only 25 minutes. The spread of the gas under a shallow inversion with foggy and calm conditions killed 22 people and hospitalized 320.

Cincinnati, Ohio. 1968

A similar accident with a fortunately less tragic ending occurred on August 25, 1968, in Cincinnati. About 2,500 pounds of SO2 escaped into the air from a burst pipe at a chemical plant located in the northern industrial part of Cincinnati. The release of SO2 started at mid night and lasted for about 8 hours. People who are staying at about 200 meters to the east of the plant were affected. People were awakened by a rotten-egg smell and difficulty in breathing. Fortunately nobody was killed.

The video ends with the ever assuring voice saying…"the gas is not at detectable levels and the wells have been shut down…." sounds like the problem has been resolved……but it hasn't….cause it has no resolution….no clean up….no tidy happy ending….this story is an evolving monster…get the hell out of south Louisiana!

Many Moons I hear you about evacuating Louisiana. I remember Jesse Ventura on his conspiracy show found that the government set aside 6 billion or 35 billion to move everyone out so they could make the state one huge refinery and Bp stared a chain reaction of disaster that will affect the world.

Has anyone noticed when the video of the flyover starts there is a puff of steam or smoke rise from about 5 O'clock of the flyover footage? Why is there smoke and or steam rising form that area of the sinkhole?

If you download a free program called PDF XChange Viewer you can make your own copy with the save function in upper left of the program. I would strongly suggest you make copies of your own before this document is removed. I suspect it is still available to the public strictly due to oversight. Prayers for all of you affected by this tragedy.
